Croix Blanche Lakes www.croixblanchelakes.com
The lakes are mature sandpits set in northern France covering around 17 acres in total, set in a domain of over 30 acres. The venue is just 2 hours 30 minutes from Calais and only 100 kilometres from the Belgain border. Excavated in the late 1970s, the complex consists of 2 beautifully matured & established carp fishing lakes, renowned for their big fish, plus one 1 acre stock lake:
CROIX BLANCHE LAKE - 6 Acres - 7 Swims - Maximum of 5 anglers• TORTUE LAKE - 8 Acres - 8 Swims - Maximum of 5 anglers• STOCK LAKE - 1 Acre (No fishing allowed)
The banks, while quite steep, are grassy with trees around most of the margins. Weed presence can fluctuate from year to year, but it's not a problem. There are no obvious underwater obstacles or snags. The water itself is crystal clear with a bluish tint characteristic of sandpits and water levels fluctuate throughout the year with the change in water table.
The number of pegs as been kept to a minimum: the Croix Blanche has seven, with eight pitches on the Tortue. Most of these pegs are cut back into the bank to provide comfortable pitches.
Access to the pegs is excellent with a track around the whole property, and access to most of the pegs is possible by car! The property is entirely closed with a secure fence around the whole perimeter.

Lake Lezay is a true big fish venue where the likelihood of catching a whacker of 30, 40 or 50lb exceeds the chances of catching 20s because of the ratio of big carp in the lake. This water is by no means a pushover though as some of the carp are wise old lumps and the anglers that put in the most effort reap the best rewards, some of the catches here have been phenomenal! Its not just a big carp water though, it also has a number of large catfish (silure) to 97lb and one huge diamond back sturgeon (nicknamed Mervin) who is now over 80lbs!

Each of the double swim has plenty of room for two, two man bivvies, steps to the waters edge, a slabbed area with a pub style bench plus a weighing tripod and beany mat for weighing the fish properly. Bill's Lake 2 - "Exclusive Lake" The stock in this lake is enormous with 250 Carp, 20 Catfish, 2 Sturgeon, numerous Grass Carp and 6 Koi Carp with a lake record carp of 47lb+. The lake is 3½ acres and bordered on 3 sides by mature trees with an average depth of 3 meters. On Bill’s Lake 2 there is a fully equipped caravan included in the price which includes a double hob, fridge and somewhere to sit and eat in comfort plus there is a separate porta loo cabin. Bill's Lake 3 - a "Runs Water" Fish stocks are very high in this lake with the average stamp of fish being a little smaller than the other 2, however, there is a very large head of 30lbs+ fish and a few surprise 40lbs+ too! It is 8 acres in size and has an average depth of 3.5 meters. The swims are set along one bank with the facing bank being out of bounds. This causes a natural haven for the fish with multiple catches coming from its’ margin.
